Teenager's Overexercising Leads to Kidney Injury: Doctors Warn

A teenage boy got sick because he exercised too hard.

His muscles broke down, sending bad stuff into his blood that hurt his kidneys.

This condition is called rhabdomyolysis.

He had been working out intensely for over an hour without breaks.

His pee turned red, and his legs were very stiff.

Luckily, doctors helped him get better, and he went home after a few days.

Doctors warn that overdoing exercise without enough water can be dangerous.
